The light rays will refract towards the normal of the medium and emerge out at the same angle.
Light rays bend when they enter a new medium at an angle due to refraction, which is caused by the change in speed of light as it travels from one medium to another with a different optical density. This change in speed causes the light rays to change direction, leading to bending.
No, refraction can occur whenever light rays pass through a medium with a different optical density. The amount of refraction depends on the angle at which the light rays enter the medium, not just if they are straight up and down.
Refraction is the term that describes the notion that light rays bend when they enter a new medium. This bending occurs due to a change in the speed of light as it transitions from one medium to another, causing the rays to change direction.
When light rays are refracted, they change direction as they pass from one medium to another with a different optical density. This causes the light rays to bend either towards or away from the normal line, depending on the angle at which they enter the new medium. Refraction is what causes phenomena like the bending of light in a prism or the apparent change in the position of objects in water.
If light rays entered from one medium to another at 90 Degrees of the surface between the mediums, then the light rays would not be retracted. The light will straight through from the first medium to the second.

Light rays bend when they enter a new medium at an angle because they either slow down or speed up. They speed up the most if they are in a vacuum.

When light travels through a transparent medium it is slowed down according to the refractive index of the medium. Also if light is incident at an angle onto a surface of such a material, the light rays are bent or refracted by an angle at the boundary of the material, the angle again depending on the refractive index.
If light rays entered from one medium to another at 90 Degrees of the surface between the mediums, then the light rays would not be retracted. The light will straight through from the first medium to the second.
The name of the effect is refraction. It occurs when light rays pass from one medium to another with a different density, causing the rays to change direction.
The change in speed causes the light to bend. If it is travelling from an optically dencer to an optically rarer medium the ray will bend away from the normal. But if it is travelling from an optically rarer to an optically denser medium then it will bend towards the normal.
Refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass from one medium to another.
Internal reflection of light occurs when a light ray traveling within a medium hits the boundary with another medium at an angle greater than the critical angle. This causes the light ray to reflect back into the original medium instead of refracting out. This phenomenon affects the behavior of light rays by causing them to bounce off the boundary and stay within the medium, leading to total internal reflection.
